That fat sonofobitch broke the scale!

I go to the gym tonight and like a good boy, I only did abs and cardio..
gotta rest sometime. I go to the hot tub and there is this man of greater
stature in there. When he got out, the water level went down 6 inches. Next
thing I hear is the scale go crunch. I go take a look at it and both weights
are completely to the right. I move them back down to the range of mere
mortals and get on it myself. No go. Busted ass scale (Detecto upright
balance beam, 350# capacity.) You would think that at 6'3" with a ~60" waist
you would know what rides you can and can't get on without damaging them.

One benefit is there are more girls in the gym to look at.

Me, too. I want to work on getting in some longer runs in. But the gym
is filled with people doing 45 minute walks at 3.0 mph on my
treadmill. I'd run outside but for those attacks by Canada.

Is there a polite way to point out that their strolls aren't doing
anything if they don't reach an elevated heart rate?

They're still doing quite a lot. Not increasing their
cardiovascular fitness (much) but burning some
fat certainly.

Make sure that fat cock-sucker has to pay for it. If not, bust him
in his teeth with a 35 plate. :^)

You will see those people every day for about two weeks then they will
disappear. The whole period of inconvenience lasts about 6 weeks. Then
they go away leaving only the subsidy on your gym membership. I see it
as a little inconvenience for a few weeks with benefits lasting year
round.

About 540 cal/hr for a 250lb fatass at 3mph without incline. Not really enough
to produce results unless they're prepared to do long workouts.

I'd be afraid that it would boomerang off the blubber.

--TW 35?? Pussy. I throw no less than 45's.

There was an absolute babe in the gym last night that I've never seen
before. I hope she continues to come.
